The impact of environmentally concerned xenobiotics (incl. agrochemicals or industrial products, natural metabolites of other organisms, etc.) are studied on selected aquatic invertebrate model animals, which provide sensitive indicators for the harmful effects of bioactive substances.

The potentially toxic effects are identified by functional alterations (physiological, and biochemical modulations) of the model organisms, while the targeted mechanisms are analysed applying a combination of behavioural, neurophysiological and biochemical approach.
